Tea partiers activist are basically from America. They believe in small government and have conservative values. They are against gay rights and do not support the medical insurance policy supported by the Obama government. They are at times called racists for supporting conservative values. They base their name from Boston Tea party. They have a strong following and at times seen protesting at US capitol against the impending Heath insurance vote.

great link thanks..... "words have actual meanings" what a great line, one all teabaggers should understand... not all teabaggers are racists but if your a racist there's a good chance your a teabagger.

Yeah, he can be a bit extreme with his views, but I generally agree with him. I loved the movie Religulous that he made, and his show is great. Plus, he's all about legalization. I'm interested to hear where you find him dim though.

I found him funny at first. Religulous made me laugh a few times. What I don't like is that he keeps hammering home the same points over and over again. He is very dependent on the material he ( or others ) have written before the show. In direct confrontations with others he has difficulty coming up with sound coherent arguments and mostly resorts to just ridiculing his opponents. A good test to see if someone has a quick mind is to see their reaction when they need to reply to an argument they where not expecting. If someone repeats the last thing said by their opponent while laughing, this is a debate fail. Maher does this all the time. What that laugh means is "oh shit. I wasn't prepared for that. I need to buy some time." It's especially embarrassing to look at in his case because he talks to people he himself has invited on the show, so he has had the opportunity to do research beforehand.
Dim might be a little harsh, but he certainly is far from brilliant. His success has more to do with his ability to be controversial than with how original and witty he is.
